Hi,

I am thinking of buying a pioneer head unit (the 6950 one), from ebay since they are much cheaper. Will the AM/FM work? it is located in Singapore.

i also read on these forums Pioneer head units don't have an power antenna wire? is this still the case or have they now got one?

thanks

my brother got a pioneer head deck from overseas via ebay, and he's had no problem with it whatsoever. he got it from one of those cheaper e-bay stores that sell head decks. i have o idea about the antenna thing though, he hardly listens to the radio and his antenne doesnt work (or maybe it isnt even electric) its always up.

I just bought the model below your one P5950IB for my R34. I bought it cheap locally, connections from Strathfield car radios and installed with a case of beer as payment. Dodgy i know

As for the antenna, i don't know about that, as the R34 antenna is on the back windscreen? best to find out about the antenna thing buy downloading the manual from the Pioneer website.

Apparently the installer told me that i would need to buy some sort of adapter to convert the radio signals. This adapter should be like $15. I didn't need to install it cos he told me one was already installed. Could have been installed for compliance?

So all Pioneer decks will have the antenna up all the time? thats pretty crap design by Pioneer.

Can anyone recommend a good deck with direct ipod control and USB?

I have a 9850BT and the power antenna works fine, although my one is localy bought i would not reccomend pioneer, moving to an alpine soon.

I know back in the old days you could use the amp remote for the power antenna, dont know if you still can.

I sell them. you will alos need the antenna adapter as well. factory amps are a rarity in those. if you have the holograpic sound option it will have amplifiers on the speakers. no biggie they are speaker level anyway.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
